TB Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) English is a second language for me. But I'm fairly certain that 'going on a bender' and 'being a bender' are two very different things... Spoiler And that reminds me of the first time I saw Rowan Atkinson. Not the 9 o'clock news: sitting in a railway carriage; telling his co-travellers: "I'm bent!", then following up with "My skin is smooth" and so on... Fellow passengers' faces displaying a mixture of feelings throughout. And finally someone gets it: "Oooh - you're a banana!"

We could do worse. With Tim as assistant, obviously. He would make shedloads of money taking a big percentage when negotiated with the agents when buying or selling a player 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa fans lasted almost 4 months before writing him off. I really hope the next manager is actually given some time. It really is a joke how we get through them. The reason Arsene Wenger has lasted 20 years is pretty obvious. had he won 1 game in 11 after spending 50 mill, he might have lasted the same length of time.

This season is almost certainly a write off now so let's take a gamble on someone who has the pedigree and potential to be something special. Doctor Tony changed his car, coz he'd bought a Banger, Now he's got a German One, Daay-vid Wag-ner. With the added bonus that a bit later in the season we can change it to "What a useless wan..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the next manager is deserving of actually being given time as if he is it is good news for us Well its old news now I suppose, (and mercifully RDM going has prevented me from having to argue his cause anymore !!) but I am genuinely worried that is where we are now at........a new guy having to prove he deserves time rather than it being something he starts with.

villan-scott Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't even know who I want. None of the links jump out. Wagner sounds like flavour of the month, but would he be able to turn us around. I don't know. I hope Round, Wyness and Xia have a plan. Xia mentioned only having a short time frame in the summer, so I hope they have the wheels in motion and contenders lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post claretman Posted October 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 I can't believe that Sherwood is featuring in these conversations. What's the matter with folk? I've had to tell a couple of Villa supporting mates today to behave themselves when hearing "I'd have him back" and remind them how he was completely found out tactically and WAY out of his depth. The man seems to be revered on the basis of our FA Cup run. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
